Wow!!! Not what I was expecting

[liezelF]

Hey everyone.

I have been vaping for a few months now, didnt expect to find a South African forum and so busy .

Now for business . Has anyone ordered from these guys?

Other Electronics - *** 1 Week Special *** Complete Innokin SVD VV/VW Starter Kit *** 1 Week Special *** for sale in Pretoria / Tshwane (ID:116171698)

I was going to buy the VV3, but this seems like a great deal, just worried someone tries to shark my hard earned money and yes I have had a run in before....not with vaping gear at least.

Love the atmosphere in here!

I have never ordered from this site. I stick with the tried and true vendors cuz' I don't know what I might get otherwise. This is a great place! Welcome!!

 

[denizenx]

and eciggies sells one for 500 bucks cheaper,
Innokin SVD (Excludes Battery and charger)
but without batteries, charger and tank

2 x 18650 batteries, double charger,tank and a bottle of juice for an extra R 500.00. Thats pretty good!!

Just mailed them, Im actually going to go ahead and order. They sound really helpful

 

[shabbar]

Ive used bid or buy before , very safe.

I ordered an innokin svd plus two panasonic ncr 18650 batteries plus a nitecore i4 charger a pack of smoktech cartos for R685 from fasttech .

only downside is waiting the 21 days + for shipping .

other then that welcome to the forum and happy vaping

Hi Liezel - Welcome to our part of the forum. Great to hear new voices. Shabbar is correct, nowhere cheaper than FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics, but you must be prepared to wait. Most of us have dealt with eciggies.co.za, very good vendor. You can also check out skybluevaping.co.za - also an excellent vendor, but new and still building up stock. Not so mad about the Trustfire chargers. The Nitecore chargers are very good and probably the charger most vapers in the world use. Which province are you from? Lots of Cape peeps here.

 

[NickHead]

FastTech price for Innokin is +- R350.00 and Ecigies is more than double that with postage. A no brainer.
Will order 2 from Fastech when they back online.

Hi thanks for all the help guys!

I have emailed and phoned the vendor. They are also new but they seem to carry a lot of stock. I was even able to swap the huge 18650 batteries for 18350's and I swapped the iClear for a Protank, all for the same price, besides 18650 in my hands is not going to look good at all. I have ordered from eciggies as I'm sure most of us have.
I took a look t skybluevaping, there prices are fantastic until items are actually in stock. I wanted to order from there a few times like the Protank for R99 or something and then wait for that price its not in stock.... Felt like a scam so I left. I have to agree on the nitecore, those are nice, but for the price, I am happy to go with a low and slow charger. Make no mistake, I want to support local vendors. The more support we give them, the better products and prices we get, just the way I see it. Eciggies has had my orders for a long time.
I have ordered from Fasttech and had a run in with customs, my entire order got shipped back, okay I thought...no then Fasttech charges you 20% handling and postage 2 ways. Lost a lot of money.

This will be my first MOD though, I vape on a mech with a low resistance carto or my dripper. My juices taste weird to me in a tank, with all the hype of the Protank, I thought I would give it a go. Hope I like the MOD sooooooo excited! Should be here tomorrow.

 

[Matthee]

Great Liezel, seems you know the ropes, just new on the forum. Enjoy your new stuff, post us a picture or two and let us know how you experience the protank on the Innokin. You being a dripper I don't hold out much hope - not much beats dripping! Except a Reo Grand with RM2 of course.

Thanks Matthee,

hehehehe yes I dated a guy for 6 months in England and he was a little more than an enthusiastic vaper lets say, so I learned more than any normal girl would know. The only good thing about that I might add....Cant believe there are so many vapers here!

RM2 looks great! I will say Im a little jealous....

Tried an Ego starter kit for 1 week and trashed it after I tried a dripper, but a carto with tobacco yummmmmm!

 

[liezelF]

Package delivered to my office about 20min ago.
1x SVD its the single tube version.....guess I'm just being hard to please, 2 x 18350's, 1 x charger, 1 x protank with two heads in a box, 1 bottle of juicy peach. The flavour is amazing. Dont know how many of you have tried but I cant get enough, been chain vaping it.

So okay these guys are the real deal. The SVD is still a tad big in my hands but not too bad overall. The Protank.....yes good guess Mathee, it performs but I dont care much for it. Its definitely the best clearo-tank I have used though. Wonder if i shouldnt have stuck with the iclear 30 on the deal....

 

[ParkaP]

A smaller option to pro tank - kanger EVOD .... I'm impressed ...

 

[iPWN]

LizelF don't give up on the protank just yet , recoiled all of my heads with 3mm silica and 28 Gauge Kanthal @ around 1.6 Ohms and now they are awesome flavor is waaaay better than the stock coils. Almost as much flavor as my trident clone.

 

[NickHead]

Geez. Eciggies sell the Innokin tube at +- R750 and with postage it comes to over R800. .... I just ordered TWO from Fasttech for under R800. Bulk buying from Fasttech is even cheaper.
I feel for SkyBlue and will support them on the accessories.

 

[liezelF]

Hi DerickT,

Didnt mean to come off too harsh. In my opinion though, vendors shouldn't advertise something they don't have in stock. Now please, I am saying again.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL VENDOR! Be if Tonnies backyard spares and vape or who ever. Yes everyone will sing the praises of imports until they get burned off of the warranty or directly at customs, where they open your parcel and ship it back to where it came from....That means you spent money, waited 3 weeks to peek at it for a sec and have it shipped back at your expense and a handling fee.... NICE!

Anyway, not really ranting. Just went through this twice. FT with 3 bottles of juice and a mech, nothing was released entire package sent back. Then 5 bottles of boba's bounty from the US. (Later found out it was the knock off anyway). Oh these weren't my first orders, I had received all my packages and then BAMM!

 

[dragonbone]

Hi and welcome Liezel!

Yep, I agree with Mathee and the others regarding FastTech. I often buy from them - no problems so far. Sometimes I buy direct from Alibaba.

Oops! Just read further. Sorry to hear that you have had problems with customs! I'd be upset too.

 

[Matthee]

Well, welcome back Dragonbone. We missed you. I surmised you were on leave or something.

 

[dragonbone]

Hey Mathee, how are you? Yep, I've been MIA for a while, but now I'm back . What vape news have you got?

 

[Matthee]

All Reo/Reomizer on this side now, Dragonbone. Just the best vapewise methinks. Still searching for that elusive ADV, but have sort of settled on HHV's Pirates Booty and DIY Hangsen Highway/555 with a bit of Black Fire (FA, I think). And on your side?

 

[dragonbone]

Nice! What color/size is it? Is it VV? Pic please!!
Agh, me? Same old, same old. I have a lot going in rotation at a time. Like at least 6 lol. If I misplace one, I can't be satisfied until I find it. Weird. From my big VV devices, right to my little eRoll (which I LOVE) and the eGos and medium stuff in between hehe.... each one gives a completely different vape and I need them all.

I think I must cut down on my vaping. Oh and I have a new addiction apart from my Cotton Candy - mainly to Strawberry, but also to Peach (from the same house, whom I won't mention). I crave that Strawberry!!! Unrequited love is obviously all I have in my vape cards. Sigh.... Plus they were just little bottles, so of course now I have to start plotting and scheming on how to get more.

Tell me about Pirates Booty.
